Jonathan Owens, husband of Simone Biles, has declared his unwavering support for her potential participation in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, even as he expresses a desire to start a family with the renowned USA gymnastics star.

Discussions about her possibilities for the next Olympics in four years have begun, a prospect Biles acknowledges is uncertain, especially considering her age.

‘If he could, he would have started having them yesterday,’ Biles mentioned regarding the NFL player.

The iconic gymnast and Owens are actively discussing starting a family, while her involvement in the LA 2028 Olympics remains uncertain.
‘The next Olympics will be on home soil, so anything is possible,’ she remarked to reporters in Paris. ‘But I am starting to feel my age.’
